    Can someone tell me what..

    Those bloody bra type things players wear when they are training or even under their football top when actually playing a game. I assume they are meant to be some sort of aid but all I can say is they look totally stupid. Is there some sort of transgender footballer surge going on or what?

    They record a players movement etc during a game, providing real time stats.

    And heart rate and that sort of data I believe.

    A useful tool in helping player health and probably helping find out such as what happened with Eriksen.

    I’m all for this sort of stuff, in the 70’s clubs simply injected cortisone into knee and ankle injuries to keep players on the pitch, this is why do many players of that generation are physically f u c k e d, they were very badly treated!

    Tony Brown had to have both knees replaced before he was 50 and a hip joint I think.

    They have GPS systems fitted so there is no hiding place when it come down to how much work/running the have supposed to do. All there movements (no not those !) are recorded.
